I don't think it's a slight towards anyone current to note that a bunch of folks I consider to basically be legends of Civ4 MP are not really active anymore. The skill level around here was simply unbelievable back then.
Wow, thanks for all the thoughts, everyone! I will try to answer some in the next few days, although I appreciate the zeitgeist may have passed. Thanks regardless, lots of think about!

I'm just stopping by to tell you guys not to take Krill seriously when he says you don't know how to play. In his view, anyone not playing like him doesn't know how to play.

Yeah, I don't know how to play by that logic - but I still have fun playing and I try to learn a little more each time.

I don't know how to play and have given up learning but am still having fun. That's the joy and brilliance of Civ IV - suitable for a big range of players. I'd say they don't make them like that any more, but every now and again something pops up.

Ah, thank you for the reminder  . That was my high point! I have regressed a little since then. Also ... Hitru. Very scary. But I do think I contributed.
